However, my projections for the remaining two BCS bowls have changed since last week.
Nebraska suddenly looks vulnerable in the Big 12, so I've replaced Oklahoma State as the projected Big 12 entrant and Fiesta Bowl participant against Pittsburgh, which has a precarious one-game lead in the Big East race.
I'm predicting an Alabama victory over Auburn on Friday, but I still think Auburn wins the SEC title and plays in the Sugar Bowl. The Tigers would face Ohio State, which will have a share of the Big Ten title and will be selected as an at-large team.
With Alabama's victory over Auburn, I think the Crimson Tide lands a spot as a BCS at-large team in the Orange Bowl opposite ACC champion Virginia Tech.
Here are FanHouse's bowl projections for this week.
The fine print: In the case of the BCS bowls, those bowls could lose their tie-in teams to the title game. When that occurs, that bowl chooses any BCS-eligible team to replace the team it lost, but is not required to select one from the same conference as its tie-in.
Also some conferences may not be able to fill all of their bowl tie-ins, that's why some bowls have teams projected from different conferences.
